of the war desolations are determined.
27
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one
week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for
the overspreading of abominations he shall make
it
desolate, even until the consummation, and that
determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
CHAPTER 10
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called
Belteshazzar; and the thing
was
true, but the time appointed
was
long: and he understood the thing,
and had understanding of the vision.
2
In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
3
I
ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all,
till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
4
And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I
was by the side of the great river, which
is
Hiddekel;
5
Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and
behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins
were
girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
6
His body
also
was
like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire,
and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice
of a multitude.
7
And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the
vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
8
Therefore I was
left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was
turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
9
Yet heard I the voice of his words: and
when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward
the ground.
10
And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and
upon
the palms of my
hands.
11
And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak
unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto
me, I stood trembling.
12
Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou
didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard,
and I am come for thy words.
13
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and
twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with
the kings of Persia.
14
Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the
latter days: for yet the vision
is
for
many
days.
15
And when he had spoken such words unto me, I
set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.
16
And, behold,
one
like the similitude of the
sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood
before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.
17
For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there
remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.
18
Then there came again and touched
me
one
like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
19
And said, O man greatly beloved,
fear not: peace
be
unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was
